HOLDER FGR SEPARATE OVENS.

Application filed January 21, 152-4.

To all whom it may, concern Be it known that I, Gnonoin C. JEWELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newton, in the county of Harvey and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful folder for Separate Ovens, of which the following is a specification.

The invention holds the oven at a suitable height above the stove top when oven is not in use, and when it is desired to use it for baking, the supports on which the ends of the oven rest are lowered so that they rest on the top of the stove. The objects of the invention are: first, to provide a handy place for the separate oven, when not in use, to which it is easily raised, and where it does not occupy needed space; and second, to enable the user to keep food warm in it, as it is heated by the surplus heat rising from the burners beneath.

One form of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a front view of the device showing 1t attached to the top of the stove, with an oven, shown by dotted lines, resting on it; and Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a top View with the movable portion lowcred to top of stove, and Fig. at is a front view of the same. Fig. 5 is a section through the line 18-18, Fig. 3, on a larger scale, and shows how the catch works. Fig. 6 is a section through the line 1919, Fig. 3, on a larger scale, and shows the spring 14.

The holder is fastened to the back of the stove top 16 by ordinary screw clamps, 1, 1. The flat tops, 2, 2, of clamps are made wide and long so as to cover a considerable area of the metal stove top. They are spaced a suitable distance apart, depending on the length of the oven, and are tightened by thumbscrews under the stove top.

The uprights, 3, 3, may be of channel iron as shown, and are fixed rigidly to tops of clamps. They are a few inches longer than the distance it is desired to have bottom of oven above stove top. Near the top a slotis cut, 4: in Fig. 5, through the middle of the wide side. In this slot the catch works.

The blocks, 5, 5, slide up and down on the uprights. A. bar, 6, is fastened to the back of one block, and at the other end has a slot through which by thumbscrews it is fastened to the other block and adjusted to the length of the oven. The end supports, 7, 7, may be made of two pieces of angle iron, bent at Serial 1170. 687, '33.

right angles as shown, and are fastened rigidly to blocks,- 5, 5, by strips, 8, 8, which go around three sides of the blocks, and are securely welded or riveted to the angle iron on either side. The ends of the oven, 17, rest on these supports, and in order to keep them from spreading apart and letting the oven fall down. between them, a small piece of each iron is bent up as at 9, and hooks under the rim of the oven. 11 similar piece may be arranged to hook under at the back.

The catches, 10, 10, are pivoted to shoulders on outside of blocks by pins, 11, 11, and each works through a slot in the block and the corresponding slot in the When the outer end of the catch is raised by means of the handle, the catch assumes the position shown by full lines in Fig. 5, the small end is moved out of the slot in the upri ht, and the block is free to slide down the upright. Until the handle is raised the weight of the oven holds the catch firmly.

The handles, 12, 12, are fastened at the back to outer ends of catches, and in front are hooked in small slots fastened to upper edges of 7, 7.

The braces, 13, 13, are hinged to a point just in front of the middle of the inner edges of 7, 7, and extend down to the tops of the clamps, being curved backward so as to be out of the way.

In lowering the oven, a handle is grasped in each hand as they are lifted until the catches, 1O, 10, are pulled out of the slots in 3, 3, and the feet of the braces are lifted out of slots in tops of clamps, then oven and support are lowered to top of stove. A spring, 14, may be adjusted at each hinge which will lift the brace up sufficiently so that the lower end will not catch on the stove top. The lower part of one brace is bent back farther than the other so that they will not strike each other when being folded up under the oven. The movable parts of the device now occupy the positions shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. a. The shape of the feet of the braces is shown at 15, 15, and these small ends fit in holes in tops of clamps.

The stove top and oven shown form no part of my invention.

1 claim:

1. A holder for separate oven, consisting of clamps and uprights, and amovable portion. including blocks which slide up and down on uprights, end supports which are upright.

All

affixed to and move with blocks, and front braces'which lold. underneath when oven is lowered.

2. In a holder for separate oven, the comhination with claiinps, uprights, sliding blocks and end supports of catches pivoted to said blocks, inner end of each catch extending through a slot in side of block, and being adapted to engage a slot in the cor responding upright, thereby locking supports in position; and handles parallel to end supports and attach-ed to said supports and to outer ends of catches, by means of'which said handles catches are operated and supports lowered and raised.

3. In a holder for separate oveznthe combination of clamps, uprights, sliding blocks and end supports with braces having feet fitted to rest in holes in clamp tops, and spring hinges, with lifting handles arranged to release the parts and permit the braces to swing by action of said spring hinges.
